The spoon full of sauce really was way too much? Unless someone else is paying the bill 10/10 would not recommend.Took the left over and gave them to the homeless guy sitting outside. Left overs in the picture.

The duck ragu and gemelli were out of this world resembling almost a short rib in flavor. There are not enough stars for that dish, the calamari and the house bread.Great wine selection and music. We loved our server. Very sweet. I was born and raised in Roanoke but moved away for 30 years. Iam used to Denver, Charlotte and St. Pete. This restaurant is top notch and definitely a keeper for me and my family. We willbe back!

The Duck Ragu, spaghetti carbonara, the pork Milanese, formaggi pizza, salumi, and formaggi. Holy, was this stuff good! The cheese on the formaggi tray was amazing. Small portions ofcheese, but amazing. The Carbonara was a little rich, but very good... 2/4 at the table liked it. Highly recommend the PorkMilanese is stupid dumb good. Get it. The Salumi (aka. salami) tray is amazeballs. Seriously... Nothing we had was bad. Sarah,our server was AMAZING... Seriously, razzle dazzle! Great recommendations, well versed on the wine selection... Seriously, askto sit in Sarah's section. Finally, the rest of the table enjoyed the tiramisu. I finished the 4th bottle of wine at the table,lol. The noir is delicious. Seriously, try this place!

In order to dine there, we had to make a reservation which required a credit card in case you were a no-show. When we arrived, we were promptly seated. The waiter was nice and the service was fast. The atmosphere was loud, however. We had to shout to speak with one another. We had hoped for a nice romantic evening but instead had to shout across the table just to have a conversation. The menu was hard to understand unless you were well versed in Italian cuisine and culinary terminology. The wife's food was nasty, and my pork mileanese was tough. Unfortunately, I can honestly say Olive Garden has better Italian food than this place.
